    I think I will have to jump in on this one too. It sounds like a lot of fun. When you say divisible by 3.5", is that including the .5 inch seam allowance?

    Ooh - what beautiful fabric. My mother's favorite flower was also lilies of the valley.

    Ok, I'm so dang excited about this I have to toss up a starting pic. I've had Buttons and Blooms Fabric for awhile now, just hanging out and waiting for something to spark. This will be perfect. The panel part I'm going to use will be 18x18.

    I plan to join in too. I bought some batiks earlier this year for a medallion type quilt (http://www.quiltbranch.com/index.php...whole-lot-more), but think I am more apt to get this one finished with different borders. I have two different border books and will bring those in to look for some ideas to share too. I will get a picture of my fabrics and share later tonight...heading to "the clubhouse" (my sewing shed) now.

    No ideas for my center yet, but know it will be rectangle one since I like them better than square quilts.

    This border of the month will give me the push I need to do something with this 26 x 26 center piece I made a few years ago. It will end up being a scrappy!

    I might cut It down and might not. I like the challenges of figuring out sizes. It will depend on what the first border row will be.
